PLYMOUTH TERCENTENARY MEDALS

  Jan Monroe writes: "In response to John Merz's question
  concerning the "Official Souvenir Medal' dated 1921 from the
  Plymouth (Mass.) Tercentenary Committee, commemorating
  the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims,
  I provide the following, (in addition to Dick Johnson's
  information):

  The medalet was struck by Whitehead & Hoag and has an
  integral loop at the top.  This medal is 31mm in diameter and
  was issued with a red, white and blue ribbon on a a buff card
  that states "Official Souvenir Medal / Plymouth Tercentenary /
  Committee".  The medal weighs 8.8 grams and was struck in
  bronze.  Some of the medals were silver plated. This medal
  was catalogued as  Storer number 1561 and Heath number
  MA239 9a & 9b.   I do not have any mintage figures for the
  medal but it was apparently still available from one of the
  historical agencies in Plymouth a few years ago on the original
  cards.

  Obv.  Mayflower sailing to the right entering harbor at
